  65=head1 DESCRIPTION
  66
  67This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
  68system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
  69commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
  70for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
  71the generic command interface.
  72
  73While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
  74or 'init'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
  75means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
  76(In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
  77called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
  78repository.
  79
  80Part of the "repository state" is also information about path to the attached
  81working copy (unless you work with a bare repository). You can also navigate
  82inside of the working copy using the C<wc_chdir()> method. (Note that
  83the repository object is self-contained and will not change working directory
  84of your process.)
  85
  86TODO: In the future, we might also do
  87
  88        my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
  89        $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
  90        my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
  91
  92Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
  93it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
  94to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
  95increase notwithstanding).

 112=item repository ( OPTIONS )
 113
 114=item repository ( DIRECTORY )
 115
 116=item repository ()
 117
 118Construct a new repository object.
 119C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs.
 120Possible options are:
 121
 122B<Repository> - Path to the Git repository.
 123
 124B<WorkingCopy> - Path to the associated working copy; not strictly required
 125as many commands will happily crunch on a bare repository.
 126
 127B<WorkingSubdir> - Subdirectory in the working copy to work inside.
 128Just left undefined if you do not want to limit the scope of operations.
 129
 130B<Directory> - Path to the Git working directory in its usual setup.
 131The C<.git> directory is searched in the directory and all the parent
 132directories; if found, C<WorkingCopy> is set to the directory containing
 133it and C<Repository> to the C<.git> directory itself. If no C<.git>
 134directory was found, the C<Directory> is assumed to be a bare repository,
 135C<Repository> is set to point at it and C<WorkingCopy> is left undefined.
 136If the C<$GIT_DIR> environment variable is set, things behave as expected
 137as well.
 138
 139You should not use both C<Directory> and either of C<Repository> and
 140C<WorkingCopy> - the results of that are undefined.
 141
 142Alternatively, a directory path may be passed as a single scalar argument
 143to the constructor; it is equivalent to setting only the C<Directory> option
 144field.
 145
 146Calling the constructor with no options whatsoever is equivalent to
 147calling it with C<< Directory => '.' >>. In general, if you are building
 148a standard porcelain command, simply doing C<< Git->repository() >> should
 149do the right thing and setup the object to reflect exactly where the user
 150is right now.

 235=item command ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
 236
 237=item command ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
 238
 239Execute the given Git C<COMMAND> (specify it without the 'git-'
 240prefix), optionally with the specified extra C<ARGUMENTS>.
 241
 242The second more elaborate form can be used if you want to further adjust
 243the command execution. Currently, only one option is supported:
 244
 245B<STDERR> - How to deal with the command's error output. By default (C<undef>)
 246it is delivered to the caller's C<STDERR>. A false value (0 or '') will cause
 247it to be thrown away. If you want to process it, you can get it in a filehandle
 248you specify, but you must be extremely careful; if the error output is not
 249very short and you want to read it in the same process as where you called
 250C<command()>, you are set up for a nice deadlock!
 251
 252The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository
 253(in that case the command will be run in the repository context).
 254
 255In scalar context, it returns all the command output in a single string
 256(verbatim).
 257
 258In array context, it returns an array containing lines printed to the
 259command's stdout (without trailing newlines).
 260
 261In both cases, the command's stdin and stderr are the same as the caller's.

 459it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your

 687=item remote_refs ( REPOSITORY [, GROUPS [, REFGLOBS ] ] )
 688
 689This function returns a hashref of refs stored in a given remote repository.
 690The hash is in the format C<refname =\> hash>. For tags, the C<refname> entry
 691contains the tag object while a C<refname^{}> entry gives the tagged objects.
 692
 693C<REPOSITORY> has the same meaning as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
 694argument; either a URL or a remote name (if called on a repository instance).
 695C<GROUPS> is an optional arrayref that can contain 'tags' to return all the
 696tags and/or 'heads' to return all the heads. C<REFGLOB> is an optional array
 697of strings containing a shell-like glob to further limit the refs returned in
 698the hash; the meaning is again the same as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
 699argument.

 744This suite of functions retrieves and parses ident information, as stored
 745in the commit and tag objects or produced by C<var GIT_type_IDENT> (thus
 746C<TYPE> can be either I<author> or I<committer>; case is insignificant).
 747
 748The C<ident> method retrieves the ident information from C<git var>
 749and either returns it as a scalar string or as an array with the fields parsed.
 750Alternatively, it can take a prepared ident string (e.g. from the commit
 751object) and just parse it.
 752
 753C<ident_person> returns the person part of the ident - name and email;
 754it can take the same arguments as C<ident> or the array returned by C<ident>.
 755

 955=item temp_acquire ( NAME )
 956
 957Attempts to retreive the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
 958associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
 959created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
 960
 961Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
 962C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
 963to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
 964cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
 965threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
 966writing over one another.
 967
 968In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
 969it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
 970file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty
 971directly. If a handle is closed and then requested again, then a warning will
 972issue.

 987Releases a lock acquired through C<temp_acquire()>. Can be called either with

 989referencing a locked temp file.
 990
 991Warns if an attempt is made to release a file that is not locked.
 992
 993The temp file will be truncated before being released. This can help to reduce
 994disk I/O where the system is smart enough to detect the truncation while data
 995is in the output buffers. Beware that after the temp file is released and
 996truncated, any operations on that file may fail miserably until it is
 997re-acquired. All contents are lost between each release and acquire mapped to
 998the same string.

1100=head1 ERROR HANDLING
1101
1102All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1103See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1104L<Error::Simple> instances.
1105
1106However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1107functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1108thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1109code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1110provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1111in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1112string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1113call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1114returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1115
1116Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1117it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1118at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1119use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.

1170
1171This magical statement will automatically catch any C<Git::Error::Command>
1172exceptions thrown by C<CODE> and make your program die with C<ERRMSG>
1173on its lips; the message will have %s substituted for the command line
1174and %d for the exit status. This statement is useful mostly for producing
1175more user-friendly error messages.
